2022 | Futo | Estate Red

Gorgeous aromas of mint, fresh thyme, terra cotta, lavender and blackcurrants. Medium-bodied with solid, dusty tannins that are refined and nuanced. It’s chewy and very long. Very structured but polished tannins.

Producer Information

Futo Wines (sometimes refered to as Futo Estate) is a Napa Valley wine producer with vineyards in the highly-regarded AVAs of Oakville and the Stags Leap District. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted grape variety across these vineyards and forms the central component of Futo Wines' Bordeaux-style red wines. The estate was founded in 2002 with Tom and Kyle Futo's purchase of a 16-hectare (40-acre) Oakville property – the renowned Harlan Estate is an immediate neighbor in the undulating foothills on the western edge of the valley. Approximately three hectares (seven acres) of Futo's original land had previously been planted to vine back in the 1980s. In 2004, Futo Wines expanded its vineyard holdings with the acquisition of an adjoining two-hectare (six-acre) plot. The Oakville winery was completed in 2008, and four years later, Futo Wines increased its vineyard hectarage with an additional 16-hectare (40-acre) property in the Stags Leap District. Futo's Oakville vineyards are planted on sandstone and shale slopes elevated above the valley floor. These plots have been divided into 25 blocks that are mainly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, with additional sections of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. These grape varieties are blended to produce the flagship Futo Oakville estate red wine.
